Wired News: Is That a Bomb in Your Pocket?

Wired News: Is That a Bomb in Your Pocket?: "Bomb-detection technology is in the spotlight this month, as a deadline approaches for U.S. airport security personnel to complete a crash course in explosives screening just in time for the holidays."

The whole article makes you wonder how long before robots are handling all security. 10 years, tops?

I'd rather have robots patting me down than some brain-deadened/bored person who can't wait to punch the clock. It would only take one person to supervise a line of 'bot checkers and a human/'bot combo of x-ray checkers.
